Your diplomatic mission from Midgard arrives at [599\|-342] in Zanpur. Your Spies cannot gain entry to the silent fortress. The doors remain barred to them; none will speak to them; they can find no other way in. However, asking a few subtle questions in the surrounding area, they hear rumours of cloaked assassins riding out from the fortress, carrying death in the name of the god Ten Kulch. They also hear of a few select people being granted admission. How does one get in? "Only the closest allies of the Hashashin may enter. If you are not amongst their allies, you should be pleased: to be allies of the Hasashin is to lose your souls to Ten Kulch!" Unable to glean any further information, your diplomatic mission is now heading home.

I dont Know what this means, But there is a faction called the Hashashin, and and alliance named this too. here are the links

http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Alliance/Alliance/1204" rel="nofollow - Hashashin Alliance

Again, i don't know what this means, or how anything is connected, but im hoping soemone else does know.

BTW, i sent advanced spies for this report, any other diplo gets a report like this

Interesting. Sounds to me like you need improved faction standing with the Hashashin Faction to get in, which currently isn't possible afaik.

Given that the Fortress of Shadows has been giving this message back for at least 2 years (I seem to remember it from my last stint in Illyriad) while the SIN alliance is only a few months old... I'm going to wager no relationship there.

I have also sent diplos to the Hashashin Trade Hub, so reports will be posted when they get back..

I have heard rumors that someone found another clue to the FoS, something to do with a landmark in the area, but they are being tight lipped about it.

Wonder if that's true or just a rumor...
If true, i could never understand why ppl are not willing to share any tibbit of information about possible misteries in this game...

I got that message from FoS years ago, but always assumed the thing would be locked until factions came live and we could change our reputation with them...

There are advantages to keeping the mysteries a secret. For example, being the only person who could make the ultimate items would mean cornering the market.
